Internal Control & SOX Testing
Test internal controls against SOX and policy checklists, flag gaps, and generate remediation plans with audit-ready evidence.
Skills in this bundle
Control Remediation Sentinel
Internal-control / SOX control-testing workpaper builder: reads a controls list, sizes samples by frequency and risk, and produces a control matrix, sampling plan, test worksheet template, deficiency-grading rubric, plus next-best-actions (actions.json) for high-risk controls.
Policy Lens
Deterministic policy red-flag clause analysis (severity filter + structure + score). No LLM. (Action Co-pilot: generates next-best-actions (actions.json), follow-up tasks and calendar reminders on top of the analysis — what to act on today.)
Quality Sentinel
Automated ISO 9001 and manufacturing quality standard compliance checker. Analyzes quality manuals, inspection records, and audit documents to identify non-conformities and generate prioritized remediation plans.
Regulatory Sentinel
Compliance check and internal control audit testing. Modes: check (document compliance against GDPR/SOC2/PCI-DSS/HIPAA/CSRC/CBRC/PBOC), audit (internal control testing with structured test report), fetch (regulatory docs), prompt (MD compliance prompts).

Real use cases
FAQ
Which control frameworks and checklists are supported?
SOX control objectives and custom policy checklists, with your control matrix importable. Test dimensions and frequency are configurable across business and information-security controls.
How are deficiencies rated and remediated?
Deficiencies are rated by impact and likelihood, with remediation actions, owners, and deadlines auto-generated and status-tracked to closure.
Are test papers usable for audit?
Yes. Papers include control descriptions, test procedures, evidence, and conclusions with traceable evidence, exportable for internal and external audit review.
Can it work with our existing control matrix?
Yes. Importing your control matrix builds control-to-test mappings automatically, with no rebuild, keeping consistency with your internal-control system.
How is data security ensured?
Everything runs on your machine; control evidence and business data never leave the network, with private deployment and access control, meeting listed-company compliance.
